INTRODUCTION
Anyone receiving a note folded up in a mysterious way will get an extra lift of anticipation. Origami Note Cards shows how to fold paper into all kinds of different shapes. Instead of searching for a printed greeting card at a store, you may have fun spending a few minutes folding a piece of ordinary paper into a very personal message to a family member or friend. Even in this electronic age, sending a colorful card is still a popular way to communicate and show that you care.
Over the years I have collected hundreds of patterns for folded notes from all over the world and have selected some of my favorite designs for inclusion in Origami Note Cards. You can use them as greetings for birthdays and holidays, invitations, or notes of appreciation. Most patterns can be interchanged to suit any occasion and personalized with colorful papers and added decorations. Many of them are suited for gluing into a scrapbook.
The patterns range from very simple, needing only four or five creases, to more challenging ones. You will also find an unusual way to wrap a few of your handmade note cards, if you decide to give them as presents.
Share the pleasure of making cards with family members of any age,
